Designed by Sori Yanagi in 1954, the Butterfly Stool combines oriental shapes with bent plywood techniques designed by Charles and Ray Eames. The curved silhouette of the seat's two shells evokes the wings of a butterfly. A small, poetic, and timeless stool, Butterfly is a must for contemporary interiors and is available in rosewood or maple.
